Catoctin Shiloh Shepherds

Catoctin Shiloh Shepherds together with Sunshine Shiloh Shepherds is extremely proud to announce the long awaited pairing between Gazers MyShadow of Catoctin, aka “Duncan” and Catoctin’s Sunshine Pandemonium, aka “Panda”.  This litter will produce all plush Shilohs with potential colorations of dark, rich, sable colors in reds, browns, grays and possibly duals.

Duncan:

Duncan is the sole bloodline moving forward out of the well-known, magnificent and regal, gentle giant Shenandoah’s Star Gazer, aka “Gazer” blended with 2x National Select, multiple Breed and International Championships, Catoctin’s MySkye of Shenandoah ROM, aka “Skye”.  Duncan portrayed the distinct impression of nobility with a presence that offered intelligence, wisdom, strength and intuitiveness, all tempered with a kind, gentle demeanor. Duncan had a great zest in living and love of all life. He was a giant, gentle soul created from the pure lines of the most famous old bloodlines in the Shiloh Shepherds' history with no outcross to sway that standard. Duncan was a magnificent male, who brings these qualities to the pairing: Superior structure, flowing movement, a large and noble head with perfect small triangular ears, a thick, stunning, plush coat, a perfect saber tail with a strong gently sloping topline where form and function come together in harmony. He loved children, he loved other dogs of all sizes and he greeted strangers with enthusiasm ready to make new friends. This will be Duncan’s first litter. He was a tremendous representation for the Shiloh with his courageous and self-confident spirit wrapped up in a heart of gold.

Panda:

Panda is a striking female with a sweet gregarious personality. She will approach strangers, children and other dogs with a soft and gentle nature. She makes a wonderful dog to meet the elderly, handicapped or disabled with these attributes. Panda also has intuitiveness beyond comprehension and reads her surroundings with accuracy and understanding. She has a steady and loving temperament with an attitude that shows her zest for life. Panda’s conformation is incredible. She has a beautiful head structure, with a broad, wide skull and a short broad muzzle. She has perfect front structure. Long muscular shoulders carry the oblique angles down to beautifully sculptured straight front legs and oval compact feet. Her topline is strong and well developed as it gently slopes into well-developed hindquarters. Strong, powerful, rear drive gives her an air of floating across the ground. She covers ground with ease as her strides reach out and carry her effortlessly. From the tip of her nose to the tip of her tail, Panda’s structure is as close to perfect as one can find. She brings to the litter a balance that will produce dogs that can excel in scent, herding, Rally-O, obedience and other types of strong, yet balanced, working dog activities. Panda is the “all in one”, rock solid Shiloh Shepherd. Her red tones, dark face and richly pigments create a striking and bold look.

Together

The combination of Duncan and Panda’s pedigrees are full of Grand Victors, Grand Victrices, Breed and International Champions well into the 7th generation. When considering these puppies, think of the yin and yang interconnecting into the perfect Shiloh Shepherd. These two complement each other perfectly. They come together to guarantee that versatile, sweet, highly intelligent, intuitive dog that will be your forever companion, protector and family member.  Catoctin Shilohs is expecting everything the Shiloh Shepherd standard calls for in this litter. You can expect to receive loving, confident puppies with outgoing attitudes and loving personalities. We are expecting the progeny to have size, brawn, beauty, brains and grace with rock solid temperaments. These puppies will be perfect for families with children, small animals, and other pets, or for those that want to go beyond with a Shiloh in the show ring. These puppies will also excel in the herding, sports, athletic and obedience arenas for Shiloh Shepherds. This will be both Duncan’s and Panda’s first litter and we are expecting great things to happen.
